Guitar enthusiasts, collectors and traders gathered Sunday for Alberta's premiere annual guitar event, the Edmonton Guitar Show.

Held at the Italian Cultural Centre, the event featured 40 vendors, live performances, equipment demonstrations, giveaways and attendance numbers topping over 500.

"We couldn't be more pleased with the turnout of vendors and attendees," said event producer Gary Meiklejohn. "We've experienced the rich enthusiasm of the guitar community and can't wait to build on this success for 2016 shows in Edmonton, Regina and Saskatoon."

Organizers tweeted and posted the days events on their Facebook page, keeping everyone up to date on all of the guitars, gear and goodies.

The 2016 Edmonton Guitar Show is expected to return to the Italian Cultural Centre in September of 2016. Regina and Saskatoon Guitar Shows are planned for Spring of 2016.
